What Role Does Nanotechnology Play in Vaccine Development?
Nanotechnology is playing a crucial role in the development of new vaccines. Nanoparticles can be used as adjuvants to enhance the immune response or as delivery systems to improve the stability and distribution of vaccines. For example, the recent COVID-19 mRNA vaccines use lipid nanoparticles to deliver genetic material into cells, enabling the production of viral proteins that trigger an immune response.
